KBattlePause XP

by Kyonides Arkanthes

Introduction

I've been fiddling with a new scriptlet. This one would let you fight some monsters as usual.
Yeah, I know it sounds boring indeed.
But I can guarantee you there's a catch!  
What is it?  Err, well, the whole thing is that even if you flee like real chicken wussies...

Your enemies might still face you again.

Yes, the very same foes with the same stats as they had when you left them biting the dust!

Unless you take too long to fight them letting them get fully healed.

I seriously suspect this kind of script would work best if used in boss and sub boss battles.

My script only has a single script call but you might know that using it is completely optional.

Besides I have not define a way to activate this new feature after N turns.

The Script

Code:

# * KBattlePause XP
#   Scripter : Kyonides Arkanthes
#   2020-08-17 - v0.8.0

# Are you planning to make your heroes running away? You better think it twice!
# This script might not deter them from chickening out but it surely does keep
# them trapped. How is that possible!?

# Well, next time you could notice that your next normal or random encounter
# might lead you to facing the very same foes you fought against a while ago!

# Keep in mind that clock is ticking so you better face it before your foes get
# a chance to be fully healed automatically.

# This is not really a plug and play script, you do need to setup the KBPause
# module first to let it run smoothly.

# * Optional Script Call * #

# KBPause.boss_heal_timer = Time in Minutes

module KBPause
  SWITCH = 1
  TROOP_ID_VARIABLE = 1
  ENEMIES_VARIABLE = 2
